Kaposvar Creek flowing into the Qu'appelle River near Tantallon, Saskatchewan on May 20th, 2026

New video from our drive on May 20th, 2026! It was a beautiful day! (Information from a Saskatchewan Hiker, Christopher L. Istace, and you can read his story of his hike of the Kaposvar Trail - Qu'Appelle Valley to Hazelcliffe, click on the link.. https://share.google/tN58Q2gKsJd0K6ySV and also information from Saskatchewan Tourism from the internet)

Kaposvar Trail meanders about 20 kilometers alongside Kaposvar Creek from the Qu'Appelle Valley to Esterhazy, Saskatchewan. Although it has obvious signs of motorist traffic, it is far less traveled than other trails in the area. This leaves Kaposvar's setting much more pleasant for hikers wanting to develop a deeper, more solitary connection with the wilderness.

Like the Scissors Creek Trail, Kaposvar's path is set atop a historic Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) line, formerly known as the Pheasant Hills Branch. This portion of the rail bed runs just feet above the gurgling flow of the creek, putting those on foot deep into the large ravine containing it.

Parking your vehicle alongside Grid Road 637, you step onto the trail heading in a northwesterly direction. Hazelcliffe, a historic settlement area in the Kaposvar district, sits seven kilometers up the trail. It now consists of a small park, a house, and a couple of outbuildings along a grid road leading north to Esterhazy and south to Wapella, Saskatchewan, on the Trans-Canada Highway.

Kaposvar Creek is a meandering stream located in southeastern Saskatchewan that originates over 100 kilometers northwest of its mouth and flows southward through the Qu'Appelle Valley before emptying into the Qu'Appelle River near the town of Tantallon.

You can spot magnificent, naturally occurring stands of Bur Oak scattered throughout the eastern portions of the Qu'Appelle Valley. Notable areas to explore include: Round Lake/Tantallon: The valley becomes heavily forested here, with well-known, beautiful patches of oak.
